Why don't you guys show all the missions? I mean, I don't want to waste week and a few days just for you guys to blow out of nowhere a ridiculous mission like "do 100k damage in a game" to make it impossible like the other marathons..

Sounds too easy for T8 premium. Gets much harder day by day?

[Rammste1ner]

I thought that WG forgot about marathons.Me like komrade, looking forward to complete those missions

[DemonsDope]

First mission is quite simple. I guess missions will get harder each day.
I have never finished any premium tank marathon due to lack of time. Now I'm on my vacation so I can focus on this. Nice.

[morganakis_gr]

great job +1 from me!!! 

[SlyMeerkat]

This looks interesting, would be nice to finally complete something like this sometime 

[KLguns]

Jep, show all missions at once. This need to know basis just to keep some players hooked is really pathetic.

[uglycousin]

Nice, thanks. A free tank is a free tank (well, nothing is free, still have to put the effort in).

 

Would like to be able to know all the mission requirements beforehand though.

[StinkyStonky]

Ooo, exciting.  Does anyone know if this is a premium tank that earns extra credits (like the T44-100) or is it a reward tank that only earns extra XP ?

 

I wonder if it will be as expensive to buy as the T44-100.

 

One good thing ... I'll not miss a chunk of the marathon by going on holiday.

I think that's the mission for day 2 

[ToodlePips]

It would be too good to be true if all missions would be on a level similar to the first one, but I suspect that they will get gradually more difficult. Guess we will have to wait and see. 

[uglycousin]

Day 1 - win 5 battles and be in top 10 by base xp

...

Day 7 - kill 17 tanks in one battle

...

Day 13 - finish at least two set of missions for Obj.260

...

Day 15 - are you still here?

 

[gunslingerXXX]

Nice.

However the first mission sounds too easy. I don't trust others will be comparable, probably the 'exponential' factor WG is so fond of will be used.

For me (approx. 100 games/week) other marathons such as the T44-100 were completely impossible, and I cannot believe this one will be different.

I got the TOG from TOGtober in 2014, and it does earn extra credits , so it will be probably the same for the T25

Might be that they give you easy 7-8 tokens (Making you think you're getting close to the tank) and rest of the missions are much harder, forcing people to buy the missing tokens (=$$$) or grind like there's no tomorrow.

 

This is assuming there will be tokens available to be bought like in the last marathons.

 

The idea for now sounds nice though, we'll see how this turns out

Looks like I might be able to try and do this marathon...

[TurkarTV]

Picture says 203 on the Mantlet, except its only 88.9 and not 203.

 

EDIT:

 

Wrote to tanks.gg and they updated.

The Mantlet really is 203mm
